(woman screaming)
(nurse) Sarah, push!
- Don't panic, dear! - Push, Sarah!
You can! Push!
Push!
- You can do it! Try! - Sarah, push!
- It's all right. Try again. - Push, Sarah!
Take a deep breath and try.
Sarah, push!
You can do it!
You'll be okay.
- Breathe, Sarah. - (Sarah's screams get louder)
- How often are the contractions? - It's low.
It'll be done soon.
Sarah, push!
Breathe, Sarah.
Push!
- It's okay. Try to push. - It's all right, dear. Push.
It's a fetal distress. Operation theatre now!
Yes, ma'am.
- Now! - Yes.

Hello.
(Vijay) Hello! Where have you been?
They said it was a small intervention,
- but then it got ruptured. - Oh!
It was 80% deep.
Anyway, she's on post-delivery observation now.
- Okay. - Let's see how it goes.
All I want to do is come home and get some nice sleep.
Huh? What about the appam and stew then?
Of course! Only after eating appam and mutton stew.
Yes. You have a good deep sleep.
You badly need that. Okay?
And listen, I'm gonna step out for a moment.
Remember the property I told you about near the bus stand?
I want to check it out.
This is the tenth property you're visiting
in your two-week leave, Vijay.
So what? Isn't that good?
But we're not gonna settle here, you know?
- But it is a growing city. - Check C4.
Property value will increase.
And that too, in millions, Doctor.
But who wants millions, Doctor?
Who knows? We can't predict the future.
You should've been a real estate broker.
That thought itself turns me on.
Stop it, Vijay. Okay, I'll see you at home.
(man) No need to take an auto. Let's take a bus. Come on.
Come on.
Hello!
- (man) Let's hire a rickshaw! - Madam! Madam!
The patient in C3 got a rupture.
Vidya ma'am is on leave today and Joshi sir is not here either.
Isn't Esther here?
Esther ma'am is a junior. If you could come...
Come.
(soft music)
- Prepare the table. - Yes, ma'am.
Lathika, add her name to the ledger.
(opening theme music)
(kids chattering)
(girl crying)
Look at this!
Kids outside must be dying to catch a cold or fever.
Only then can they come here and receive these gifts.
Right, sister?
- Yeah, I guess so. - (playful music)
Huh? You don't look very happy, sister?
- How many kids do you have? - One.
Wow! You got a kid? I see!
We've got a special gift box for you.
It has crayons, a geometry box and a pencil in it.
There's one more thing. Let me show you.
See this? This is the raincoat from KydZure.
Rather than wearing green always, wear this sometimes.
- You want one? Shall I open it? - No, it's fine.
You seem kind of bold, huh?
I felt so.
Let me demonstrate it.
It doesn't have to be raining for you to try it on.
Isn't it nice? See?
It looks so nice!
- Awesome! - Hey, Mashood.
(K.P. hums in disapproval)
He needs me for everything. He won't do anything otherwise.
I'll be right back. Okay?
I'll be right back. I'll call you.
His chest is clear. No problems.
Doctor... Haven't you written the file?
Yeah, I'm on it.
Doctor, you're inaugurating this study.
Lucky man!
You must be saying the same thing to every other doctor, right?
- Shall we take a photo? - (child coughs)
- Is that really necessary? - Just one photo.
Can you please stand there?
Shall we include them as well?
You may keep coughing, kiddo.
Doctor, smile.
- (camera clicking) - (boy coughing)
Okay!
Where did you find him, K.P.?
Doctor...
Please save this young man.
I will!
How many patients are we talking about?
How about 200?
Are you gonna reach your monthly target in just one day?
(Mashood) Prescribe some 200 KydZure, Doctor.
Let the kids find some relief from coughing.
What are you doing, sir?
(Doctor) Let kids who have a cough come in.
I'll prescribe accordingly.
(Mashood) Even if you prescribe it to kids without a cough,
it's fine, okay?
I won't blame you.
(Doctor) We'll reach 200 somehow. Okay?
(sombre music)
Your comedy won't work everywhere, okay?
I don't act comical everywhere.
I'm quite serious at certain times.
Well, good.
Of course! I organised it.
Look at how happy the kids are.
(phone ringing)
You're always so serious, sir!
- Hello, Doctor. - (Janaki) K.P., I left the hospital.
Oh, you're not here?
No. Can you meet me elsewhere?
Yeah, sure.
Shall I send you the location?
Yeah. That should do. - Okay.
Hey, go meet the rest of the doctors.
I'll be back by then.
What is it, sir? You don't look serious anymore.
Was that Dr. Janaki?
Bug off, you!
(indistinct chatter)
(phone ringing)
- Hello? - Hello.
What makes you, the brand manager, remember the sales guy?
Stop it! Your complex is still the same.
Didn't get a chance to get rid of it!
But you got a chance. I heard the news.
Anyway, congrats. Happy for you, man.
Thank you.
I'm happier now that you called.
You can call me too, you know?
If I call you, memories come rushing back.
It was I who ruined it.
Ugh! Stop it, K.P.
I'm tired of hearing your apologies.
Anyway, it has all ended, right?
We both have moved on.
And we had a good time. So, just leave it.
Is Nimmy doing fine?
Yeah, she's fine.
How old is Shalini?
She's six.
Oh, that's sweet.
So, all of you come to Mumbai.
As you used to say, the head office is the most happening place.
Let Shalini study in India's best school.
Yes.
You have the option of getting shares.
And when the company grows, you will grow too.
These were all my old dreams.
Come on! Dreams never get old.
All right. When will you reach here?
I'll be there by the day after tomorrow.
Hmm. I'm looking forward to it.
Okay.
- Bye. - Bye. See you.
(Janaki) K.P.! Here.
(birds chirping)
Vinod, do you remember Savithri?
Uh... Savithri...
She was a nurse at the gynaec ward.
Also, the first patient of KydoXin.
I remember you well.
You had also given me samples saying that I'm the first patient.
(sombre music)
Come.
Savithri's son, Keshu.
He's unwell.
What happened to your son?
He passed out while playing cricket.
Oh!
He got hypoglycaemic and collapsed.
He got discharged just yesterday.
That's quite natural.
I keep sweets in my pocket to prevent it.
Now, Mom won't let me go play cricket for this reason.
(tsks) Stop it, Keshu.
Huh? Shouldn't I be concerned about my career?
Wow! Have you already decided on a career?
Of course! I was born to be a cricketer.
Cricket? You wish!
My dear Mom, times have changed. You don't have to get desperate
even if you couldn't make it to the Indian team.
I'm okay with the IPL too.
Good boy!
I'm sure he will play in the IPL.
Heard what Doctor Aunty said?
Mom is not at all updated these days.
She gets tense the moment she hears the word "cricket."
- Really? - Yeah!
He's perfectly fine, Savithri. Let him do what he wants.
Exactly!
(birds chirping)
See you next week then.
I am ready to come anywhere, Doctor.
Nobody should escape after making such medicines.
The primary complaint is of Savithri's.
She'll be at the press meet next week.
We've got all her documents from her pregnancy period.
Crystal clear.
You shouldn't trust these pharma folks, Doctor.
(mysterious music)
No, Savithri.
He's one of us. It's okay.
Also, Savithri, there will be pressure and offers from all sides.
Whatever it is, don't withdraw the complaint.
Let them approach me with their offers.
They gave random medicines to my kid even before he was born.
I'll vent out all my anger and sorrow on them!
(sad music)
Here. Keep it.
So, this was your psychological move to bring me here
to ensure that I won't switch sides?
No.
I wanted you to meet Keshu.
You were smiling and standing there when I prescribed that medicine.
So I felt that you, too, should feel a chunk of my guilt.
Well, I got quite a large chunk of it.
The psychological move is yet to come.
What is it?
I'll send you some videos via WhatsApp.
Interviews of kids like Keshu from different places.
Just see them.
Don't you trust me, Doctor?
It's not about trust, K.P.
This is a very dangerous game.
Those videos are for you to watch in case your mind gets confused.
Did you get the rest of the documents?
It's tough. I haven't got them yet.
I enquired at Rockford,
but they don't even remember this study.
Well, I'm trying.
See you tomorrow then. Are you going to Kochi?
There's this old boss of mine. Alex.
I have asked him too about the study.
Yeah. Is he still with RXLH?
No, he's set up some business at Angamaly.
Okay.
We ought to collect maximum study documents
before our press meet, K.P.
- Else, the case won't hold. - Okay.
Whatever way we move things forward, several arguments will come up.
That study is our trump card.
- Yes. - Okay.
- See you then. - See you.
You first took me to a hotel.
- Really? I don't remember. - (K.P. chuckles)
I remember it well.
I thought about you when I recently went to Thrissur
to receive a new joinee.
- Is biryani still your favourite? - No.
Does the old rule still stand?
The manager should receive the new joinee in person?
Yeah. It's all the same.
"Having company" is still prohibited though.
However, the tie is no longer mandatory.
How fortunate!
That's gone!
Yeah.
Aravind was the sales head back then.
It was a simple email.
To not sell KydoXin anymore.
I was shocked.
And your sales were in full swing in Thrissur.
(K.P. scoffs)
Was it mentioned that the medicine had some side effects?
No. Nothing.
Even if there were any, I wouldn't have cared about it.
Isn't all this normal in pharma?
Medicines come, get replaced, go,
and another one comes.
And by that time,
I had already set up my business plan and was about to leave.
You ended up in quite some trouble, didn't you?
Yeah.
The sales experienced a free fall.
It took some years to get it back to normal.
Isn't that how this field is?
Do you have any documents on that study?
This is all I've got.
These were left behind when some employees discontinued their jobs.
I don't know if they'll be of any use.
When you asked me this, I just couldn't hold back.
I didn't care about the situation at home and kept on searching.
What's the situation at home?
Don't you know?
No...
My son is...
suffering from cancer.
Fourth stage.
(emotional music)
Do you remember that autorickshaw driver?
Which auto driver?
You don't, right?
I remember him very well.
His face...
comes to my mind at times.
I've played all sorts of dirty games to sell medicines.
And now, to buy medicines,
I've been doing all sorts of jobs.
If all of this is true,
don't let them walk away freely, K.P.
(sad music)
Have a cutlet.
There's so much beetroot in this.
I guess they got inspired by the ones at Indian Coffee House.
I'm unwell.
I am always tired.
When my friends go to play, I also want to play.
The doctor has asked me to take insulin...
but I'm scared of injections.
(sombre score)
The doctor said a lot of things,
but I didn't understand any of them.
How did I get this disease?
I don't want to talk.
I don't want to!
Won't this disease be cured, Doctor?
I am all right.
Will I die?
(voices echo)
- (children coughing) - (grave music)
- (children coughing) - (breathing heavily)
(intense music)
What happened, K.P.?
What's this for?
Tell me what's going on.
(music builds up)
Oh, no! My dear...
Don't wake her up. We'll check it in the morning.
(child whimpers)
(cries) Mom!
K.P.!
It's okay, dear. Go back to sleep.
(child crying)
(intense music continues)
(pouch thuds)
(gloomy music)
- K.P. - Yeah.
- Hmm. - (sombre music)
(phone ringing)
- Hello? - Hey. How's it going?
Uh... Not easy.
Money has gone to the right pockets.
So, it will be easy today.
Just go and collect those files.
Okay. Sure.
See you soon in Mumbai.
Yeah. See you. Bye.
(tense music)
(music builds up)
(tense music continues)
Okay, then.
(suspenseful music)
(dramatic music)
(music continues)
Welcome to Zaathi.
(closing theme music)
